Additional Details



"The title page lists Johnson and Browning as publisher, 'Successor to J.H. Colton and Company.' All the maps list Johnson and Browning as publisher. This is an indication of some level of collaboration between Colton and Johnson on this atlas, which only lasted for one year, with the 1860 editions reverting to Colton as publisher"--Rumsey 181.
